This shot clearly says that nature can create things just like humans but so much more amazing
(I mean those plates)

Wow, I really like those waterscapes of yours. Especially ones that look like this one. I mean, some kind of concrete... rusty... plates... covered with water... in the morning

Thanks.

I hate to disillusion you but this is all 100% natural - no concrete, no rust, no grates (although plenty of water). This is a rock platform on a headland just south of a beach on the east coast of Australia (about an hour's drive north of Sydney). The only things there at the time that were man-made were what I brought with me (camera bag & contents, tripod, clothes, etc.).

But I agree with you that man-made decay in a seascape environment can make for great shots too.

Incredible! D:
At some points it looks like as if some parts were cut out, because there are marks on it. Maybe it has alien origins?
Anyway, I believe you, thanks for enlightening me

Ha! I wish my photoshop skills were that good. No, this is a real place - it's the south end of Forresters Beach on the Central Coast of NSW, Australia. Very photogenic location and you get such diverse morning lighting. I've only shot there a few times (so far) but have quite different images from those shoots (even though it's the same area in the shots).

Thanks. I'm still pretty beginner-ish myself; right place, right time (a little research/prep goes a long way).
